I tunes update does not recognise my nano

I have just updated i tunes on my PC running windows 8 and now my nano is not recognised as a device any idea?

Hello, chascaley. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would try updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver in the article below.

    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Mac does not recognise ipod nano.

    i am using nano for 8 months already.
    it had little problems till this day, and just resetting the nano would help to solve the recognising problems arised in the time being whatsoever.
    but this time i have an exclamation point on a folder on the screen, and it won't go away.
    when i try to connect the nano to my mac, it sees nano as a random hd (namely "apple ipod media"), but does not recognise it as "ipod nano" which we love and cherish when we automatically see it on dt and itunes if it's connected to our macs.
    a pop up comes to my screen when i connect nano to mac, i press initalize, and it opens disc utility. the program doesn't help me for restoring the ipod.
    using ipod updater as a restoring tool doesn't work neither (obviously).
    ...help?

    Try this:
    Windows 8.1, 64bit
    It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
    I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

  • IPod Updater does not recognize iPod Nano

    I installed the iTunes while charging my new iPod Nano 4GB from my USB port. iPod worked and was recognized during this process. After successfull ejecting and disconnecting I got the 'Folder icon with an exclamation point' in the iPod display. I followed the Apple hint on their www.apple.com/support/ipod homepage and downloaded the latest software iPod Updater (2006-06-28) and updated from 1.1 to iPod nano 1.2. In this process the Updater ended with saying that the software was updated, but that I had to wait for the iPod to quit/release the process, and it never did. It says 'Do not disconnect'. After ½ a day of waiting I had to disconnect it anyway. I thaught of 'Restore' the factory software but now Updater will not even see my iPod when I connect it. The Updater freezes and I have to 'End Process' from the Task Manager. iPod display keeps saying 'Do not disconnect' and shows a small 'sun' in the upper left corner with 'sunbeams rotating around the sun'. Can't find this symbol anywhere. Can't eject the iPod by software from neither the iTunes nor the 'Safely remove hardware' utility. When I pull out the plug from the iPod it resets and shows the Apple log and prompts me for selecting a language. The iPod 'About' panel shows that I have updated to software 1.2
    I tried to follow this link down to the 'Remove iTunes' point, but no success sofar:

    I have the same problem after update to sw 1.2.
    And I have successfully get it back to normal by re-format the iPod-drive.
    If you see windows recognise the iPod-drive. Try to re-format it (use FAT32). If you are success to reformat it, Ipod updater will recognise it and you can now do a 'Restore' to create the file structure back again for the Ipod-drive.
    I continue to use the updated sw, v1.2. And hope it does not cause more problem as this one.

  • ITunes does not recognise my Nano

    With iTunes turned off My Nano mounts on the desktop of my G4, but as soon as I start iTunes I get this message "An iPod has been detected, but could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again" I updated the Nano on my G5 at work to the latest update. Since the latest iTunes and iPod update my Nano will not work on my G4. Done all the usual restart gubbins but still the same message!! nano is 2 years old, plays perfect, but does not like my G4...why?

  • HT204053 the apps update does not recognise my password

    When I try to update my apps, my IPAD asks for my password but it only shows the first part of my e-mail xxxxxx but not the @xxx.com part, even though my whole ID is [email protected], when I enter my password it says incorrect password, but if I go to the Itunes store area, it shows the full user ID [email protected] and I can sign in but I cannot update my apps.........................Before, when my Apple ID was just xxxx, everything was OK, but Apple made me change to an e-mail address and I have never been able to update any apps for months.

    I found a solution but it is very stupid. A few months ago, my IPAD forced me to change my Apple ID to an ID that included an E-mail address. Which I did but all of the content on my IPAD was still attached to the old ID. I had to log into the old ID, answer the secuirty questions and change the password. So, now I have two AppleID's, the one that Apple forced me to change too and the old one. Very stupid on Apples part.

  • I-tunes occasionally does not recognise my i-phone and i-pad

    ...anyone with an idea how to solve this on board...?
    Thnx.

    Are you apple devices still on the same network as the printer?
    To check this, go into settings and select WiFi. Make sure that it is turned on and you have a check mark next to the same wireless network that the printer is connected to.
    After that, go into "General" and make sure that bluetooth is turned off.
    If you are still having issues after completing these steps, please let me know and I'll give you some more troubleshooting steps that may help us get this issue resolved.

  • I-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5

    i-tunes does not recognise ipad to restore after failed update to ios 5. Connected i-pad to update to new ios 5. Back-upp went fine but update failed and now i-tunes does not recognise the devise and i-pad will not work so I have no known way to restore.

    Copied from that article.....
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    Are you releasing the home button when you see the connect to iTunes screen? Does iTunes start on its own? If it doesn't - start iTunes yourself.

    5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

  • Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my  pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

    please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

    there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
    so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!
